Yeah, I caught this by accident and it was mostly quite good, a nice change from the loud pantomine who/campwood malarky. They had the sense to underplay the whole supernatural thing so it managed to not come off as being totally naff, as these things usually do. One hundered face punches for the Harry Potter discussionisms at the end, though!

Is this going to be a series? They kind of set it up at the end to be one.

Just watched the first episode on BBC i-player. Best thing I've seen this year. Funny, clever and menacing.

I like the yorkshire ghost.

Aye, I loved it too. The ghost was awesome, felt sorry for her at times, but also thought she was very funny. And there's Jewish Werewolf! Can't beat that

Thought it was very well acted, dialogue was iffy occasionally but overall was good. Didn't think much of the concept at first, but at about the second half I got into it and now really want to see more.

Loved it myself. One of the best UK fantasy dramas I've seen in years - great characters, writing and some seriously intruiging hints at future storylines.
Definitely hope this is the one that gets picked up for a series and not that irritating "Phoo Action" pilot.

Watched first half of this on i-Player the day after it was on, and have acquired the first episode to watch in full, because despite a cynical idiot colleague coming in to work bemoaning it as "shite that wanted to be the British version of 'Angel', but fails", I thought it was actually entertaining, well-shot and promising stuff, and nothing whatsoever like it was supposed to be like a British version of 'Angel'.

Only this week did I realise it was a one-off pilot - so did a full series get made yet, and if so when's it starting?

There was another one on the other week not sure what it was called it was about this woman looking after her sisters/brothers kids after they had died and they were a mess, it was about the 14 year giving blowjobs wrong and the womans mother getting locked up after she was found masturbating in her car.

It ended with the woman stripping down and then it shows she had a cock!

The bloke who wrote is or directed it was on 5live earlier and said that they didn't want to just follow tradition. Fair enough in my opinion what with fast zombies being better than shuffling boring ones, so it goes that daylight vampires are more scary than nightime ones.

Seemed quite different to how I remember the pilot, and it's obviously had a lot more money thrown at it, but oddly my description in the OP still fits. The new bloke is MUCH better than the original vampire bloke, jury's still out on the ghost.
